  1. Re:Oh please you old windbag on Al Franken Makes a Case For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Not so fast there spanky, you're saying that GM buying into toxic real estate was their customer's fault? Riiiight....

    I love the short-term memory loss of the politically motivated.

    The People drove Circuit City into bankruptcy.
    Also GM.
    And Wards.

    Yeah, the *people* that were management at those companies.

    That makes little more sense. Thanks for the clarification.

  4. Re:Revenge of the Titans... on Humble Bundle 2 Is Live · · Score: 1

    I just bought the new Bundle sight unseen (except for Machinarium). Your little RTS looks very fun. And cute. I'm thinking the kids & I will have a good time playing it. Thanks!

    Speaking of *finally* buying games you pirated in your youth, GoG.com is having a huge 50% off sale for a good bit of their catalog.

  6. Re:Are mid-range PC games dead? on Humble Bundle 2 Is Live · · Score: 1

    Space Rangers 2 is a great B-list game. I also like the UFO: After***** series.

  7. Re:Excellent! on Humble Bundle 2 Is Live · · Score: 1

    You didn't like Aquaria? It seems just as polished as WoG to me. I've had Machinarium for a while & it's a neat, quirky little puzzle game.

  8. Re:Wait... on McDonald's Hacked and Customer Data Stolen · · Score: 4, Informative

    A bit pricey, but Five Guys has the best fast-food burger I've ever eaten.

    Mod parent up.

  10. Re:Eh on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    I've almost completely made the switch from PC to console gaming and to be honest, with game experiences like the aforementioned games along with a proper home theatre setup I'm quite happy I have.

    Funny you say that, Oblivion & Dragon Age were both better on the PC. Haven't played the Mass Effect series yet.

    Dragon Age is the closest thing I've played to BG in a long time.

    Have you heard about this one? I'm not normally a "think of the children" type, but that right there seems like it might be a pretty big deal to some people.

    But why would anyone follow his advice after he ran Sun into the ground?

  14. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    Honestly it doesn't even matter if the guy is guilty or not, they will keep his ass tied up in court for the next decade or so, while making damned sure he has no access to any way he could communicate that password on that encrypted "insurance file" he released not too long ago.

    Assange isn't even close to the only person with that password.

    Sounds like his lawyers have a plan.

  16. Re:I just heard this... on Graduate Students Being Warned Away From Leaked Cables · · Score: 1

    That wasn't the case for the Pentagon Papers. This is spin & damage control, nothing less.

  17. Re:These cretins are NOT getting govt money on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    If they are recouping sales tax money that would normally be paid to the state, it means they are getting tax money. I don't think that was what you originally stated.

    Kentucky is footing 25% of the bill according to this article.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40460324/ns/us_news-life/

    "Ark Encounter developers seek to recover under state tourism development laws up to 25 percent of the project's cost by recouping sales tax revenue paid to the state on tickets, lodging and other goods."

    Seems shady, but it's Kentucky, go figure.

    My brother screwed up & accidentally installed McAfee on his PC, which already had Avast on it. It was bundled with something else he was installing & I guess he didn't read the fine print on the installer. Brought his other wise snappy home PC to a screeching halt.
